Topsoil in Swinton

Topsoil moves quickly to Swinton because a lot of the newer estates off towards Clifton were thrown up over builders' rubble and thin fill, so the borders and lawns are crying out for a proper depth of garden soil. Our screened topsoil covers the lot: building levels up, seeding, turfing, raised beds and veg plots.

It comes in bulk bags at roughly 0.7 m3, at £70 a bag, and each one covers about 7 m2 at 100mm. On the tighter terraced streets near the centre we leave bags kerbside, and the delivered and spread option saves you barrowing it round the back.

We deliver across Swinton and the surrounding area: Wardley, Moorside, Newtown, Swinton Park, Clifton and beyond (M27).

As a rough guide a typical Swinton semi's back lawn takes one to two bulk bags for a 50mm topdressing. Tell us the length, width and depth you want and we will work out the bags before you order.

Yes. Plenty of Swinton jobs, especially the sloping gardens around Moorside, take the delivered and spread option so the soil is levelled off ready for seed or turf rather than left in a heap on the drive.

Screened topsoil is passed through a mesh that removes stones, root and lumps, so it is clean and easy to work, and it is the right choice for lawns, beds and anything you are planting into. Unscreened topsoil is cheaper but full of whatever came off site, and it is not a seed bed. Ours is screened, so what arrives is ready to use.

Yes. A clean screened topsoil laid at around 100mm is exactly what turf wants to root into. Rake it to a fine, level finish and firm it before the turf goes down. If the ground underneath is heavy clay or rubble, going a touch deeper helps drainage and root run.

A bulk bag of our screened topsoil is £70, plus delivery from £20, worked out from your postcode and the size of the order. Put your postcode into the delivery checker and it confirms the exact figure before you order.
